ARKANOID Imagine 1986 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston --------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM : Just like the original Break Out - use your bat and ball to destroy successive walls of multi-coloured bricks. GAMEPLAY : Not all of the bricks vanish on contact - some need several hits, and others drop a spinning power-up capsule giving features such as an expanded bat, slower ball, laser, extra life and so on. Aliens also pose a problem - although harmless, they get in the way of the ball and cause it to fly off in unexpected directions. COMMENTS : "Surprisingly addictive considering its ancient gameplay." RATING : 59% (CRASH #39, April 1987) NOW : An enjoyable Break Out clone which, although surprisingly underrated at the time, proved to be something of a classic and launched a thousand clones. (Try BATTY for comparison.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYS : Left - Z to V Right - B to M, SPACE Fire - A to L
